Even though it is an arbitrary date, I’m looking forward to the end of this year and this decade. Both this year and the decade has present too many challenges and stresses to list. As someone said, “There is nowhere to go but up”.

This is my present reality and I know for many people things are much worse. I’m trying to focus on the good things that I and others have managed to achieve. I’m happy for many people that the year turned out well for them.

As I start the new decade I have many challenges including employment and health challenges within my family. All I can do is move forward.

Part of this includes continuing some things I started in the latter half of 2019.

  • Reduce my use of social media.
  • Don’t try and solve all the problems.

Some new things going forward

  • Focus on self
  • Focus on what matters.

These are deliberately vague as I don’t want to paint myself into a corner with a “resolution” that I may not be able to complete by a certain time. Both of these will be a continuing journey that will probably never end. Life has had a habit of throwing up many things to upset the balance. How I deal with it and try to move forward will be the largest challenge.
